It would be hard for speedrunners to make action on those 3.05ms, but they would notice it. I can feel when an image is choppier than it can be.

It’s not the end of the world, I’m finding lower frame rates aren’t as frustrating as I remember now that I’m doing a lot of work on the steamdeck and rog ally. 45 is as low as I’ll go on games that are pretty though. A lot of my early time in a game is spent tweaking and finding maybe 2 ‘best’ configurations, one for higher frames and one for better visuals and make my decision from there on what I can comfortably tolerate.

I dont know man. New steam deck 64gb goes for 300 new, top 512gb ssd not for more than a hundred or so on the higher end, and an SD card in that size ranges from $40-90.

Are they paying you for labor in having swapped the SSD on a new steamdeck? Because I wouldn’t buy used, gently used or not, for roughly the same price as new.
